How about a treat for Halloween? I’m part of the “Romance Girls Gone Goblin” Blog Hop, coming up at the end of this month. During the duration of the hop, hosted by Lisa Sanchez, Romance Author, I’ll be talking Halloween, both real and fictional, including a little peek at my characters’ Halloween past. AND one lucky commenter will win a free e-copy of Whirlwind!
More information is coming soon, but mark your calendar now. Stop by Oct. 28-31 and you could win!
The End of an Era

On a sad note, yesterday the world said goodbye to one of its great entrepreneurs and innovators, Steve Jobs. I’ve lived in the Silicon Valley for many years, literally in the shadow of Apple. I used my first Apple computer in junior high, and took one with me to college. Back then, harddrives were the size of shoe boxes and monitors came in two colors: black and white (okay, 3. I had a green screen too). Before Apple, computers took up rooms and buildings.
Now, many years later, I can keep my music library, my books, my maps, and my photos in my pocket, literally at the tip of my fingers–all thanks to Steve Jobs and the innovators at Apple. I can watch movies on my iPod or iPhone, including Pixar’s Toy Story, thanks to Steve Jobs. Not every one of his ventures took off, but he never gave up. His perseverance and ingenuity have shaped the world we live in.
Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. We’ll miss you.
